Hi, im looking for a very simple hack of gen 1 with all pokemon and higher difficulty where every gym is 10 levels stronger starting with Broock at 20 so the pokemon leage is at 100. Anyone can help me? Thanks!

So i think about 4 years ago i played a pokemon rom and i have been unable to find it since. I dont remember the name of the game but what i do remember is you could have multiple starters. As in one from each gen. As you traveled you had times where you could add a starter from the next gen. If someone could help me remember what this game was i would be grateful.

Hello everyone,
I've never played a rom hack before, only the original games, and i'm looking for one that i might like the most. I saw that there are literally hundreds of rom hacks and i have no idea how to choose, can you help me?
The features that i'm looking for are (sorted from most important to least important):
-being able to catch/obtain every pokemon in the game without cheats or trades;
-at least 3rd generation pokemon/moves;
-long gameplay, balanced combat (even hard);
-of course, a decent storyline.

What do you think? Is there a rom hack like this (or at least something similiar)?
Thank you so much!

p.s. Someone in the past suggested me light platinum, but i got extremely disappointed because how easy it was to obtain rare pokemons early in the game.

Hey guys! I was wondering if you could help me with a somewhat weird request.
Do you know of any hack that either takes place in a big city, or features big cities?
I figured that there's ought to be something out there that fits this description.
Thanks in advance for your answer!

I’m looking for a simple Kanto Remake that has an afterstory taking place in Johto instead of the Sevii Islands, and I’ve been looking since 3 years. Because it would make a lot more sense if it comes to finding out how/why Red has an Espeon in Gen 2. The Johto Region isn’t right next to Kanto for nothing. I just thought it’s something that the original FireRed and LeafGreen (plus 3 other Rom Hacks) shouldn’t of been.

I don’t care if it’s GBA or GBC. As long as it’s not just a Modified Version of the original game. (I’ll explain the difference later.)

For features, here’s what would be nice (as an early birthday present):

-New Music (doesn’t matter to me if it’s from Final Fantasy 4-9, or Pokemon Colosseum/XD).
-The nerfing of Altaria’s defenses!
-AI Trainers with Espeons using moves that isn’t Psychic over, and over, and over, and over.
-Day/Night Cycle that’s based on Minecraft instead of real time.
-New Hidden areas, and hideouts everywhere! (Like it’s a combination of 3 other hacks.)
-2 Rivals. (Blue, and the Female Trainer. Both have their own battle themes, and be able to give them names.)

Features I really don’t care much about:
-Physical/Special Split
-Graphics
-Weather
-More pokemon (as long as it’s up to Gen 5.)

"I don’t care if it’s GBA or GBC. As long as it’s not just a Modified Version of the original game." That contradicts itself. Anyway, when the new version of Red++ drops, it is probably what you're looking for. It goes Kanto -> Johto.

hey! so, i've been a big fan of pokémon rom games for a hot minute. and i was wondering what suggestions you guys had for branching storyline roms (where there are multiple endings, and the ending you get is decided by the choices you make in-game). or overall just games with a really nice, original storyline. thanks so much!

Hey everyone, does anyone know if there is a Black & White Rom hack similar to Pokemon Emerald's Complete Hoenn Dex hack? I've done a search, but most of what I'm finding adds too much to the game - whether it's increased difficulty, adding all Pokemon from every region, to even new battle mechanics.

I've never played this before, I just want as close to the vanilla game as possible without the need of trading/playing through both games.
